9/11 Conspiracy Theorists, let me get this straight?

Question

Fire from deisel fuel can burn through a highway and cause it to collapse but planes full of jet fuel crashing into the side of a building can't cause it to fall down?

Middleclassandnotquite, Did you not read the first paragraph? I'll post it for you....

OAKLAND, California (Reuters) - A stretch of vital highway for San Francisco Bay Area commuters COLLAPSED on Sunday after a fuel truck crashed and ignited flames more than 200 feet high, the California Highway Patrol said.

The flames burned through the upper deck of a highway interchange.......

Answer 1

Listen, the entire world knows that steel & iron have NO strength once heated by a simple fire, especially a jet fuel fire. EVERY SINGLE building in the world with a steel frame has plaster put around the steel to prevent it from softening in a fire. Check anywhere. You must protect the steel

Once you heat steel, it doesn't melt, but it becomes like soft taffy. You can't hold up 100,00 tons of weight on soft taffy. The jets smashed off the plaster (it's in the report) & the steel softened. (Also, the plaster can only protect the steeel for limited time even if in place). Once steel bends, that's the end of the show. It snaps the concrete. That's why the WTC collapsed.

Also: No melted steel was found, per NIST. Therefore, no evidence or need for wacko thermite theory (of all things!!). Also, thermite wouldn't explode or need to be set off by explosions.

Answer 2

I agree with your points. But, to clarify, it wasn't just the flames. I'm a scientist. Let's look at a simple example. Wood will burst into flame at 451 degrees F. But, if you add enough ventilation, you can get a wood fire much hotter than that.

Imagine thousands of gallons of jet fuel spread throughout a building as tall as the Twin Towers. The updraft will make a heck of a chimney affect. It's been estimated that, under these conditions (with the massive airflow caused by the updraft) that temperatures were above 1500 degrees. And, the steel didn't need to melt entirely ... it just had to soften a little for the building to collapse.

Answer 3

The other day, some co-workers were discussing the Rosie O'Donnell theory about 7 World Trade Center (aka : building 7 - which is where the conspiracy theory basis lies on...NOT the planes hitting the two towers)

Upon looking at the videos on YouTube, not to say that there was or wasn't a conspiracy involved, but it looked as if there were some bits of "implosions" that happened on the top floor of the building therefore creating the building to fall neatly. The plane did NOT crash into that building nor did the north & south towers had anything to do with that collapse since buidling 7 fell around 4:30PM.

According to those sources, many governmental departments, including the CIA were based in that building and the conspiracy lies in the certain secrets that could have been kept in there. And that was the Rosie argument..how could steel without being hit just fall.

Answer 4

It is possible, jet fuels Burns very hot, causing the steel beams

to soften, and lose strength. The rest is just a chain reaction,

top floor topples on top of the one below and so on.

Peace and love, no more 911.

I still remember the bent still when they showed the WTC after

it collapsed . Any one else remembers that horrible seen?

Best Regards.

Answer 5

You have to first of all know the composition of the bridge. The official 9/11 reports admit that the fire did not melt the steel. It is riduculous to say that it did. Fire melts at 2800 degrees and jet fuel only burns at 1700 in ideal conditions. The jet fuel also burned out within minutes, common sense should tell you that. The big problem is steel was melted, the question is how? Remember the NIST report and other reports in no case stated that steel melted dur to fire. I suggest you do your research and get the basic facts straight.

Answer 6

Your own story says "The flames burned through the upper deck of a highway interchange". The entire highway didn't collapse. Odd.

Answer 7

I don't know anyone who thinks the planes did not cause the buildings to fall. There may be some misinformed individuals who think that but they would be incorrect and find that true if they do research.

Answer 8

Why is so hard to believe that the United States government staged a 'terrorist' attack on its own people so that George W. Bush could go to 'war' for three really 'lame' reasons:
a) His family had a personal vendetta against Hussein ever since Desert Storm, when George H.W. Bush was ridiculed, humiliated, and criticized for 'not finishing the job' and ousting Hussein at that time;
b) Cheney and his Exxon-Mobil buddies want all that OIL swimming underneath Iraq's sands so they can get richer and richer and richer feeding America's addiction to cheap, easily-accessible OIL;
c) The giant U.S. military-industrial complex needed a new 'war' with which to boost it sagging profits.
Our government LIED to us about U-2 spy planes flying over the U.S.S.R.
Our government LIED to us about the effects of Agent Orange on Vietnam veterans.
Our government has never fully explained the events of 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico.
Our government has never fully explained the truth about the John F. Kennedy assassination.
Our government LIED to us about torture and abuse of 'detainees' and about 'secret' CIA prisons.
Our government LIED to us about 'weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq.
Our government misrepresented the facts about the alleged attacks on U.S. ships in the Gulf of Tonkin which led us into the Vietnam war.
Why is so hard to believe that our government might have LIED to us about the 9-11 'terrorist' attacks as a way to justify invading another sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the U.S.A.??
There is substantial evidence that points to a conspiracy. Any U.S. citizen with a modicum of intelligence should be skeptical enough to at least question the government's sanitized version of events. It's in the best interest of our citizenry to do so.
Ben Franklin once said: "When the people fear the government, it is tyranny. When government fears the people, it is liberty." We have every right and responsibility to doubt our government's word and force them to fear us.

Answer 9

They'll never listen, no matter what you do. It's better to sit back and enjoy your life while they waste energy on things that never happened.

Answer 10

it is very odd that the towers imploded on themselves and many of the beams had clean cuts as though they had been burned with thermide. Also, I question the third tower falling so neatly. Seems odd.
